Josh Orendi is a co-creator of The Social Excellence project and a co-founder of its sister company, Phired Up Productions. He and some great friends have spent over a decade building companies that make the world better. He grew up in Pennsylvania, went to Bethany College in West Virginia, and now makes his home in Carmel, Indiana. He is a proud father, but he also has a motorcycle, so that makes him at least a little bit cool.

She lives in Indiana with her husband and daughter. Oh, she’s also the CEO of 3 companies (no kidding), including this one. Most importantly, Jessica loves inspiring others to connect more deeply, to choose excellence… and to realize their potential to change the world. @JessGendron
